How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
List the trailer types and routes you have done, for example "tautliner, JHB to Durban, 4 years".
